Rainier is my personal hybrid workstation and homelab — part data center, part creative studio, and part mountain. It serves as a sandbox for development, experimentation, and machine learning research, blending performance hardware with flexible software environments.
Rainier runs an AI and Machine Learning lab powered by PyTorch, optimized for GPU-accelerated deep-learning training and inference. It’s a private space to prototype models, fine-tune architectures, and explore AI workflows on dedicated hardware.
“Like its namesake, Rainier stands tall as both a testbed and a summit — a reminder that every build, every climb, and every experiment is a step toward mastery.”
